The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractIncreasing lung cancer mortality has created renewed interest in the bronchoscopic use of isotopes for palliation of recurrent airway carcinomas. In the first part of this paper we report our clinical experience with iodine‐125 implantation for treatment of endobronchial carcinomas in 18 patients followed until death.

The fibertopic bronchoscope was used in 14 cases in the emergency department between September 1974 and September 1976 at Lock Haven Hospital, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and St. Charles Hospital, Toledo, Ohio. It was used successfully to remove foreign bodies from the trachea and esophagus; in difficult or hazardous endotracheal intubation; intubation in

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1973
To the Editor.— When performing bronchoscopy with the patient under a general anesthetic, one source of annoyance is the fluctuating escape of gusts of anesthetic gases along the sides of the bronchoscope tube. Although this is mainly a problem for the anesthetist, the endoscopist also has to cope with it and is discomforted by it, especially if the ...

Bronchoscopic treatments for emphysema
Revue des Maladies Respiratoires, 2011In late stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema can worsen respiratory symptoms, not only via the loss of surface for gas exchange, but also via alterations in mechanical properties of the respiratory system (dynamic and static hyperinflation). Emphysematous lung volume reduction aims at improving respiratory mechanics and symptomatology

Bronchoscopic Visualization of the Alveoli
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2014We report a rare case in which we were able to visualize the lung alveoli through the bronchial wall by a bronchoscope in a patient with marked bronchiectasis and performed lung biopsy safely under direct vision. An 80-year-old woman presented with complaints of a severe persistent cough for the past 6 months.

Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscope
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1971Excerpt To the editor: The availability of a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope has extended the area of the bronchial tree that can be examined, by several orders of branching and with improved qual...

Frontiers in bronchoscopic imaging
Respirology, 2012ABSTRACTBronchoscopy is a minimally invasive method for diagnosis of diseases of the airways and the lung parenchyma. Standard bronchoscopy uses the reflectance/scattering properties of white light from tissue to examine the macroscopic appearance of airways. It does not exploit the full spectrum of the optical properties of bronchial tissues. Advances

What made me think to design a new surgical instrument for taking biopsy specimens from the intrabronchial growths is the high percentage of negative results in specimens taken by the ordinary biopsy forceps, especially in cases where there is a growth in either upper lobe bronchus.

Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) is a method for the guidance of a bronchoscope to peripheral lesions using virtual bronchoscopy (VB) images of the bronchial path. Irrespective of the bronchoscopist's skill level, the bronchoscope can be readily guided to the target in a short time.

Catheter Guide for Bronchoscope
New England Journal of Medicine, 1961EXPOSURE of the larynx and the passage of the tip of the instrument between the vocal cords is usually the most difficult of the entire bronchoscopic procedure. This is particularly true when the intubation is done under topical anesthesia, a method that has certain practical advantages.
